Lin Qingluo guessed Xue Ji's purpose and was extremely worried. She rushed forward like an arrow, her body moving so fast that it was almost invisible, only leaving behind vague afterimages in the dark night.
Xue Ji infiltrated Flower Street and, in front of the Wang Clan Patriarch and a group of singers, stabbed the Nanqi Regent in the heart with a dagger and kicked him out of the window.
The Nanqi Regent lay dead at the scene, and Xue Ji took advantage of the chaos to escape, leaving behind a dark token.
As the Wang Clan Patriarch recovered from his shock and bent down to pick up the token, a fiery red Little Kingfisher streaked through the night sky, heading straight for his forehead, knocking him over with its powerful force.
"Ouch!"
The Wang Clan Patriarch was caught off guard and was knocked off balance by the Little Kingfisher, causing him to lose his footing and fall back, hitting the ground with a crisp sound and a swollen, bruised lump on his forehead.
